The headlining feature of the new update is, as mentioned during Sony's E3 keynote, Gran Turismo TV, an on-demand video service that will host a nice stock of automotive programming. Shows include the likes of the UK's famed Top Gear and Japan's Best Motoring. For the first week, all content will be sold at $0.99 per episode.

The update also includes a few fixes for the game itself. Most notably, the physics for collisions during online races have been entirely revamped to accommodate more realism. Fixes in penalty judgments during races and more tire choices for Time Trial races will also be included.

Sadly, this isn't the premium update promised earlier this year that would bring a revamped online mode and car damage to Prologue. Sony's Taku Imasaki deflected questions about when that highly-desirable patch would be arriving, but there hasn't been any word to counter the company's original promise that said patch would arrive this year. The new television content will just have to help us pass the time.
